It was the daily’s turn for some TLC today. Fixed the central locking (broken wire similar to the issue that affects QP boot lid wiring). Fitted new mudflaps and gave it a proper clean. Now it’s G&T time.

They look great Gazcw imho, it's called shadow chrome/silver. Basically black all over with the face of each wheel then blown over with the silver effect. Works well on deep rims and really makes the calipers stand out. I added the red pin lines after as I had a completely sterile surface to work with. Halfords red pinstripe, a hairdryer to warm everything up to keep it sticky and voila. I've done the hubs black as well for that discrete look.

I really like that look!
Might get the same done for my QP 20" 7 spoke speedine rims. Will any wheel refurb place understand this?

Yes I think they should do. They might have a different name for it - but if you tell them the effect is basically black backs with a chrome/silver facing on the front. The red pin line on the inside on mine I did myself with a box of Halfords pinstripe :cool:
